The Fairy Gannet played an important role while participating in operations against
dissident tribesmen in Aden and incursions by aircraft from the Yemen during
the 1960s. As well as a flight of AEW.3 early warning Gannets from 849 Squadron,
each carrier operated at least one mark COD.4 for general use and communications
with shore-based stations. This series of photographs was taken at RAF Khormaksar.

The Eacott Collection

All these pictures are kindly supplied by John Eacott from
